UPDATE-12/01/11 THIS GUTLESS MURDERING BULLY IS GETTING OUT ON BAIL TOMORROW, HE WILL SLIP AWAY TOO WITHOUT MUCH ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THE FLOODS. PEOPLE ARE KEEN TO CATCH UP WITH HIM WHEN HE GETS OUT THANK GOD!

My Say I remember this one like it was yesterday. This huge bully Aiton, finally beat his tiny stepson Daniel to death after months of abuse. Now near 20 years after the fact this mongrel is coming up for parole. A date every victims family dreads in this country, with the weak arse sentences and cuts offenders get…

Guys like him deserve nothing, earn nothing while in jail, and should be rotting just like the poor little chap he beat on a near daily basis because he got annoyed! He used to brag to mates how he got the boy to stand “Star jump” style and kick him, as if he was football practice…Now I can see letting white collar crimes out for once being greedy etc but sick bastards like this deserve no sympathy or leeway.I do not want to report here in 15 months he lost it with another innocent lad who happens to be the son of a needy mum he picks up…

A photo of little Daniel Valerio before he was beaten to death by Paul Aiton

THE hulking thug who beat little Daniel Valerio to death in one of Australia’s most shocking child abuse cases will make his bid for freedom tomorrow.

Paul Leslie Aiton has served 18 years in prison for the murder of his two-year-old stepson and he wants to be out by November.

Daniel’s death, after months of savage violence by Aiton, led to the introduction of mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse in Victoria.

Almost two decades after his death, Daniel’s battered face remains a symbol of ineptitude by authorities who were supposed to save him.

He died after his internal organs were crushed when he was punched by Aiton at their West Rosebud home.

Aiton’s bid for freedom sparked a plea for authorities to warn single mums about starting relationships with child beaters.
Child Wise executive director Bernadette McMenamin said mothers who began relationships with offenders should be told by authorities of their background.

Adult Parole Board general manager David Provan said members would consider reports and recommendations from Community Correctional Services before making a decision on Aiton. Aiton, 49, will not appear in person.

The 188cm tall killer – who weighed 105kg at the time – was later to say he “just lost it” because Daniel was screaming and crying.

But former work colleagues told Aiton’s trial he made sickening boasts about his treatment of the boy. They told how Aiton would order the boy to stand in the shape of a star then kick him from behind.

They also gave evidence that he referred to throwing Daniel against a wall and watching him slide down it, shoving the child face-first into his own faeces and lifting him by the hair as he slept.

Evidence was also tendered that Aiton beat the boy’s penis with a wooden spoon when he urinated in the bath. A post-mortem examination found Daniel suffered 104 bruises and two broken collarbones in his brief life.

Aiton, who initially tried to deny killing Daniel, was convicted by a Supreme Court jury in 1993.

In sentencing him, Justice Philip Cummins said: “I consider you have not shown remorse for the death. You have shown concern for your own position.”

Aiton was sentenced to 22 years’ maximum, with a minimum 18 with good behaviour.

Grandad Mr Ottway said he hoped Aiton felt some remorse.

Mr Ottway said Aiton had served his time and he hoped what had happened to Daniel was a one-off.

Daniel’s case led to major change in child welfare in Victoria after it was revealed inaction by authorities failed to stop the abuse.

A judicial inquiry found 21 people, including five doctors, Community Services Victoria and police were involved in Daniel’s case after CSV received anonymous calls he was being beaten.

Laws were later introduced making it mandatory for police and health and teaching professionals to report suspected child abuse.

Aiton had lived with Daniel’s mother, Cheryle Butcher, after they met through an introduction agency. Ms Butcher last year spoke out for the first time in 16 years to beg authorities to do more to help children in peril from abuse.

Here are more comments from concerned Australians…

Mary of Ringwood Posted at 7:14 AM Today

We shouldn’t have to tell the Parole Board why this monsters should NEVER be released. We have to presume that the people sitting on the board have a degree of sense and responsibility..Often they have proved otherwise..This is another chance to tell us that they will do the right thing and keep this man locked up till he dies. He abuses and beats a little boy to death… and now wants to be let out..Lets hope the Parole Board does the right thing by little Daniel.

This ..-./..-/.-.-/-.-/../-./–. -.-./..-/-./- should come around to my joint when he gets out. I would love to show him first hand what if feels like to slide down a wall, stand in a star and get kicked and pull his hair until his head came off. Of course the parole board will let this piece of excrement out because little Daniel will just be an inconvenience easily forgotten when they feel like it ……

Whistleblower of Melbourne Posted at 7:21 AM Today

I dearly hope that those anonymous calls to the CSV were made by Aiton’s workmates. Inaction on their part would have been reprehensible (putting aside the shameful inaction of the 21 individuals involved in Daniel’s case). As for Ms Butcher, I CANNOT believe that she, at no point, suspected that Aiton was abusing her son.

Liz Smith Posted at 7:22 AM Today

This man repeatedly and deliberately hurt a two year old toddler. It was not just a “one off” event. The poor child lived in terror in his short life, as this evil man revelled in sadistical power over this baby-child. Daniel’s own home was a place of nightmares and pain, but there is no where else to go when you are only two. The man is evil and will hurt again when he is out of prison. He has already shown he can cross way over the line of human decency. I don’t understand why he didn’t get life!

Donna Pearce of Macleay Island Posted at 7:30 AM Today

He has served 18 years. If he is released now, it will be ‘because of good behavior’ as his sentence stated. The only reason he would be thought to have ‘good behavior’ is because there are no small defenseless children to beat up in prison. When (if) he gets out then we will see if his behavior is ‘good’ or if he starts beating up small children again. And if he does it will be because the courts released this monster when they shouldn’t have done so. This type of personality doesn’t change. He will ‘beat’ again. Keep him behind bars where he can’t harm anyone else’s child.

If there was ever a case for the re-introduction of the death penalty this is certainly one of them. There is NO excuse for killing a child, no excuse for child abuse. We dont need moronic thugs of the likes of this one living freely or closely supervised in the community.

Even with mandatory reporting the innocent children are still ignored! Stand up for those who have only a small voice, song quote:”I believe children are the future, treat them well and let them show the way.Give them a sense of pride” What would Daniel have ben doing this november? Time fades people’s memories, these thugs blend into the shadows of prison hope we will forget them. Keep him away from our children

Granny of Melbourne Posted at 7:42 AM Today

I do hope the Parole Board consider the children this monster will come in contact when released and decide not to allow him to see the outside world ever again. If he is granted parole then he should have an order made against him to keep him away from children. He is frightning.

Comment 135 of 235

DAB of Melbourne Posted at 7:42 AM Today

Just take a look at this beautiful innocent babies face in the photo. And this was before his fatal beating by the coward who now wishes to be released from his well deserved prison cell in November. How dare he even think he has rights and requests. What goes around comes around his sentencing is nothing compared to what the universe is going to lay before him for his shocking actions. I am surprised that none of the work colleagues called the police after hearing his disgusting boasts of torture on this tiny little boy. If the community had a say in the sentencing this man would never ever be released. This child experienced a lifetime of horror and fear. Shame on the legal system for his ridiculous short term sentence of eighteen years (minimum)from twenty years. To the Parole Board, do not release this disgusting person out the baby lost his life, he must also lose his..

it saddens you deeply to think this monster could have a chance of release. 18 years isnt life. Little Daniels life was taken away from him by someone who was supposed to protect and love him. Life should be until you die in jail. Little Daniel possibly had anothe70 years ahead of him.. Who knows. Now nobody ever will.

Does corrections Victoria think we are all idiots? How often do we see in the media that someone has reoffended. This man, I use the term loosely, should serve his full sentence as punishment for the horrific treatment he metered out to an innocent and defenceless child. He also needs to serve the full sentence to send a message to others that this behaviour is intolerable.

Comment 145 of 235

Australians don’t want people like Aiton on the street. Keep him in prison until his full sentence is served and then some more. RIP Daniel – you never had a chance to know how beautiful life can be.

I was revolted and distressed at the time and I remain so today. For those that cannot recall this was not a one off event. That poor child was subjected to months of savage beatings. How can someone look at that picture of the poor kid and not be repulsed? I am sure the beast that did this is sorry, I am equally sure that had capital punishment been available I would have supported the use of it in his case. 18 years or 38 years that mongrel should not be released! Weep for that poor child not the parents.

Kim Posted at 8:00 AM Today

I am sitting here at the moment watching my 2 year old daughter eating her breakfast. The thought of this man being released is sickening. How could anybody even contemplate harming a defenseless child? Considering the animal ‘joked’ to his work colleagues at the time about the pain he inflicted on Daniel and his brother – he obviously showed a lot of remorse! He should be left in jail to rot for the rest of his pathetic life. If the parole board do grant him freedom (and I am sure they will), please publicise the whereabouts of this cretton and maybe the disgusted public can pick him up, throw him against a wall and watch him slide down like he did to poor Daniel?! RIP Daniel xx

Comment 163 of 235

Jackie of Melbourne Posted at 8:00 AM Today

unfortunately no matter what we think he will be able to get out after 22 years and walk a free man, if this happens there is no supervision or parole requirements, he will have served his full sentence. If he is released early he will be supervised that sadly is a better option.

Comment 172 of 235

Rae of Burwood Posted at 8:12 AM Today

This just makes me feel sick.. This animal took a child’s life. He took away any chance little Daniel had of growing up, going to school, playing with friends, falling in love, getting married, having children and watching them grow up. Possibly 80+ years of life was taken from Daniel. The animal should remain in jail for at least that long. He didn’t just take away 18 or 20years. He took away a lifetime and he should have to repay that. By my calculations, he still has about 60years to go. I hope you rot!

Comment 173 of 235

Lisa Peters of Melbourne Posted at 8:15 AM Today

Parole Board, Why should he be let out now on good behaviour when poor Daniel never got any better treatment for being good?. Daniels face is remembered by many and if you let this poor excuse for a human being out, whats to stop society dealing with him in there own way as justice for Daniel when you are not doing justice to Daniel or our society by letting him out again. There is too much hatred and anger for this animal to be able to feel safe out of jail and is best left to rot where he is, thats the safest option for eveyone.

Paul Chao of Box Hill Posted at 8:27 AM Today

This is one of the many reasons as to why the people should bring back the death penalty because those dead people can NEVER commit murder again. Michael Portillo, a political commentator and MP for the UK, had studied various methods of execution documented in a video (http://videosift.com/video/How-to-Kill-a-Human-Being-in-search-of-a-painless-death). He showed the various methods of execution and the flaws that are inherited. In the video Michael demonstrates a flawless and humane method for execution if reintroduces. Nitrogen asphyxiation has been used for euthanising animals which have been approved by various animal rights groups. It is cheap, easily to install, does not require a special skill to operate it and mostly, the condemned does not feel any pain before meeting his or her maker. Australia should bring back the death penalty to murderous crimes and similar however use the Nitrogen asphyxiation method.

Disturbing, violent, sad, traumatic, painful, chilling, fright, fear and so much more. This is what this defenseless child felt and experienced as this coward killed and murdered him. Has this coward felt the same as young Daniel? I believe not, so why should he be permitted to experience more? I support to keep him locked away for life and may he be removed from the prison cell in a body bag and then just tossed into a bin like the human genetic filth that he is. Do not release this pathetic coward !!!

So stop bleating about it in the papers. Get together, get organised and do something about it. There are professionals who can deal with social problems like this. All it takes is money and organisation….

As tough as it is to say, if this person is released, the only people you have to be angry at are the authorities for the light sentence. He has served his time and that’s that. He should be let out as he has done all that has been legally asked of him. He should have been given life and we wouldn’t be in this situation we are in.

This man should never be released. He should have been given a life sentence. Our laws must be changed that anyone who does this to an innocent child should get life imprisonment. If I was Daniels mother I would not have stayed with this monster or allowed him to lay a finger on him, but she may have been a victim too. It makes me sad this little boy would have been 20 now wasn’t given the chance to make a life for himself.

He should never have been put in jail in the first place. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING IT BACK.

Not even animals behave in this manner. I hope the world never forgets what you did and you pay dearly for it, for the rest of your life. That little bloke didnt stand a chance against a monster such as yourself.

Why not let him out? Why is he any different from every other violent sadistic criminal that this government is determined to wrap in cotton wool?

18 years for killing a lovely TWO years old baby. Just TWO years old! The killer should stay behind bars. the sentence should be life long – at least 50 years behind bars!

He has taken the life of an innocent child & the system entertains the idea of parole! This depraved, gutless animal should remain incarcerated for life. I’m surprised fellow inmates have let him survive his time inside. I can only hope he has been subjected to incredible pain, torture & shame. Close the door & lock it for good. His acts have forfeited the right to live amongst society.
